This Kolkata Label Set Up By A Raffles And London College Of Fashion Grad Is A Must-Visit

Classic, well-cut tops and dresses are the backbone of most well-put together wardrobes. And the kind of weather we have in Kolkata most of the year makes us wish to be dressed in effortless clothing all the time. If you just nodded vigorously, we suggest you hit up Monologue. And get kitted out in style.

Their line ranges from casual shirts, formal shirts, blouses, pants to heavier & embroidery-based garments. Their price points of the garments start upwards of INR 2,800. They use specific fabrics for their garments which including cotton, crepe and silk-like cotton fabrics used primarily in the smart casual shirts or blouses, while silk, linen and crepes are used more in the semi-formal and formal styles.
